Nah, you folks have it backwards on the armor thing. Wizards stuck with the flowing robes until improbably the universe bent and those somehow became a valid defensive option. If warriors had done the same thing, they too could now be adventuring in their bath robes rather than 40 pounds of...

The ability to delay turns in combat to after anyone behind you in the initiative order would be nice. Fireball going off after grease or cleave happening after blessing can make a sizable difference in a fight.

Kohaku's select stock. The alchemy system exists because lots of people found the randomized transformations of its predecessors annoying, and there was lots of save scumming as a result. This improvement was completely ignored for Kohaku. Generally her regular selection isn't too bad, needing...

Been a while since I've played, so some of this might've changed in the interim. Mostly setting aside resolve damage/charmer, because think it got an overhaul while I was gone. Of what's left, Thief is the best. There are a few factors that go into this. One is party dynamics. As a general...

Guessing as to how the game handles percent modifiers (70% treated as damage*1.7 rather than damage*(1.01^70)), it's important to note that each percentage increase is less effective than the one before it. Using a simplified model for convenience (companions get 3 of [offensive stat] per level...

Looks like it'll be coded clean, due to stuff involving the JS port, so will be a bit before it gets in.

It would be quite nice if Meira could lower feracity to 0. Right now, there are cheap consumables that do that for negligible cost, meaning the functionality is already effectively in game. What this would do would just make things considerably more convenient; no need to run to the store if...

Don't think you can beat Sigrune without oodles of luck until level 4; everyone's just too squishy before that. Losing access to certain skills because you didn't get mirror stance in time is definitely annoying, particularly when they're companion skills. Seriously Berwyn, you can't lob a...

There are two main white mage builds I use: First is the party support specialist. Take group heal and the charmer stance that heals resolve (can swap to heal if you know the fight doesn't deal resolve damage), and song of storms. Attributes to focus on are willpower, agility, and presence...

This has been an option for a while (Compact Logs). It's listed as buggy, but it should be quite rare for a notification to be completely mulched by it.

Accuracy doesn't do anything against the evasion stat. The game handles hit chance in two stages: first is an opposed stat check (physique/5 vs. reflex/5 for melee, aim/5 vs. reflex/3 for ranged), with a base 10% miss rate. Accuracy affects this chance. If that's a hit, it's then checked against...

That accuracy is overkill, unless you didn't invest anything in aim and the enemy has maxed out reflex. IIRC, the most accuracy you need at level 10 using ranged weapons (if you do max out aim) is 16. Even at level 20, if you've been keeping your aim up, 23 is the max you'll need.

Well said. I hadn't really considered the wider ramifications; thank you for enlightening me.

I wasn't around for the initial discussion about terminology and slurs, and had originally intended to let it lie because of that, but it wasn't sitting right with me, so here's my two bits. Minor thing that irked me: people disagree about the shape of the Earth. That doesn't mean that the...

Nah, everyone reloads multiple times to see all the variations of a quest. With the popularity of machine learning, it was only a matter of time until NPCs started doing it.

I mean, parsers make updating old content for stuff like this relatively simple. I'm not sure the oldest content has them though. The bigger issue though is that there are a lot of parsers, and I'm not sure all of them even have gender neutral options in common vernacular. And that might not...

Quick note: for a ranged mercenary that has second shot and is using rapid fire, IIRC a weapon would need to do about 67% more damage to break even with one with the bonus hit rate flag. (Bonus attacks only have around 50% chance to hit, which is unaffected by the accuracy stat) Which means that...

I could see a reset to default pre-programmed, but I think anything else is probably too niche. Maybe the randomizer if that's something people would want? I don't think any cool down is necessary, and it would be annoying to code anyways. You can if there's a scene specifically for it, which...

Hmmmm, seems like a bug then. I'll disable the option.

Nope; just tested it in the new version and they increase quantity modifier.
